Doctor's degree Occupational Therapy - Columbia University in the City of New York

Doctor's degree Occupational Therapy from Columbia University in the City of New York is a Campus Ph.D Occupational Therapy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Columbia University's Programs in Occupational Therapy is one of the oldest yet exceptionally progressive programs to educate occupational therapists . The Movement Science/Kinesiology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University was the first program in the US to offer a graduate degree with a specialization in Motor Learning. Today, the two programs have teamed up to offer a unique program leading to the Ed.D. in Movement Science with a specialization in Occupational Therapy. The program will allow students who already have a Masters in Occupational Therapy and clinical experience to gain from combining study in both areas. Students take core and research preparation course work in the Movement Science program, and coursework in the Occupational Therapy Program. The research would be carried out largely under the supervision of Occupational Therapy faculty, with the additional support of Movement Science faculty. Program Overview Students in the Ed.D. program in Movement Science with a specialization in Occupational Therapy have a unique opportunity to study with faculty of both programs. Although students are enrolled in Teachers College, each is assigned an academic advisor from the Programs in Occupational Therapy , who, in collaboration with the faculty of TC, plan out a program of study that combines the science of motor learning within the context of occupation. Coursework is taken on both campuses. As per university policy, the Ed.D. requires 90 credits beyond the bachelor's degree. Since most students with entry level masters in OT have at least 45 graduate credits in related areas, we expect that 45 credits will be transferred in from another qualified institution and that the doctorate will be comprised of approximately 45 credits beyond the existing Masters. The credit allocation is to be shared among the existing programs in Movement Sciences and Occupational Therapy. View more details on Columbia University in the City of New York .
